Nov. 12, 2014

LARAMIE, Wyo. -

University of Wyoming head volleyball coach Chad Callihan announced the addition of three student-athletes to attend the University of Wyoming.

"This is an exciting class for our program," Callihan said. "All three have the athleticism to play in the Mountain West but it is their other attributes that will help our program continue moving forward. We think Mattison, Bayly and Reed fit exactly what we are looking for in a player.
